When
it comes to Sherbet I'm often left a little confused. Growing up sherbet
for me was a frozen desert. It was like a gelato, but not as milky.
A sort of slush, but not like a Slurpee. It's basically a slush meets
an ice cream, without the milk. In many places around the world, there's
a connection with sherbet and candies. These candies are citrus, and
they almost always leave your mouth feeling tingly. This can sometimes
be because of a fizzy element, although sometimes it's also a sour
element.

These Sherbet Pips aren't
really fizzy, like a package of Pop Rocks, however there is something
about them that gives my mouth a tingle. I imagine that the fizzy
feeling here is the sour tingle one gets from eating a lemon candy.
Because of this, I find that the white and yellow candies are a little
more sour, and give my mouth a bit more of a tingle. The red are some
kind of berry flavour, and while tasty, don't really do much for me
on the fizzy texture side. The yellow and white seem to be a little
more tart, and therefore a little more fun to eat.

Flavour aside, these candies
are really great because of their little size. I always find it gratifying
to stick a whole bunch of little candies in my mouth at once, and
these allow me to do this in spades. They are hard candies, but they're
not that hard to bite through, so after sucking on them for a few
minutes, if you can't resist they're fun to bite down on.

I'm not really sure about
this whole "sherbet" thing, but these are certainly some
delightful little candies to both suck and chew on.
